Luka Doncic is looking like a legitimate MVP candidate! He dropped 40 points for the FOURTH time this season as the Lakers beat the Kings 116-103 in Sacramento.
Deuce and Mo break down how the Lakers slowed Sacramento's offense, why the Kings' spacing continues to be an issue and why Domantas Sabonis needs to start letting it fly from three. He's attempted just two threes all season.
Darius Acuff Jr. had 22 points and 12 assists on a tough shooting night, but he's already putting his name alongside some NBA legends. Acuff joins Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas as the only rookies since 1975-76 to record 150+ points and 50+ assists through their first eight games. Deuce and Mo discuss what stands out about his game beyond the numbers, his decision-making and the progress he's making defensively.
Plus, are Luka and the Lakers legitimate contenders in the West? The Kings get ready for Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs after Wemby's ridiculous 52-point, 24-rebound, 8-block performance against Dallas.
And of course, another round of WHO HE PLAYED FOR!
